We know Alex and VC have prepared a special SIHH 2014 in few weeks now and think about so many posts to come.
Enjoy your last hours 2013 and be prepared for all novelties and added VC watches in your collection in 2014.

The very best to you Alex, in the coming year!
Thanks for being such a great "patron", full of wit and humour, knowledge, diplomacy and helpfulness.
And to all my Lounger friends...have a great and joyful New Year, full of the best of everything including of course some new VC pieces to add to your collections.

and all the best to all of the Lounge members for the new year.
On a sober note, I'm afraid that 2014 is likely to be quite turbulent for many people in many countries around the world. So while we on this forum are all lucky enough to be able to indulge in our shared passion, be careful, and keep your eyes open.

May 2014 be an even better year for all of us!
2013 was a blast for VC. I am looking forward to the offerings for SIHH 2014!
Thank you Alex for organizing this forum for all of us and to all loungers for all your interesting posts in 2013!
Cheers

WELCOME TO 2014
Whilst I take this opportunity to wish my fellow Loungers every success and
happiness throughout the New Year, allow me to include everyone at VC that plays
a part to bring The Hour Lounge to our screens. An awful lot of backroom work goes
on to put 'the show on the road!'
My thoughts are also extended to both Nikki and Celine at the London office for the
finest hospitality skills you'll experience anywhere. A big thank you!
A personal thank you to Alex for 'steering the ship' through 'calm waters. choppy waters and occasional
'gales' and everything in between!...
Let's all put our 'shoulder to the wheel' to make this a bumper THL year! "Every little helps"
Warm wishes
Tony

To Alex for your wonderful moderation and creating a virtual home for us
To the incredible VC team in New York for all your hospitality and help
To all my fellow loungers for your conviviality and conversation
May 2014 be the best year ever!

The fireworks last night were great, if a bit smoky, and the morning dawned like any other. Still, a New Year is a significant event, and one cannot help but reflect upon the past to wish for the future. We are a great family, with all the joys and heartaches that implies. Mrs TT and I wish you all peace when you need it, joy when you want it, and love when you least expect it :-)

Many happy moments to come !
2013 gave us wonderful moments and a fabulous ultra thin minute repeater. :)
For me 2013 gave me a son born on 17th september and a grail watch, with all respect to 2014 2013 will be tough to beat in my heart :D
cheers
